Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

The colors are AAAALMOST perfect to the G1. Hoping they have one on hand to match plastic for the actual pressing. Looks like the tan could be a tiny bit more orange (which will help differentiate it from Swindle) and the blue a little lighter.

All things considered, it looks really good. The pink and yellow and teal highlights are in there. Head sculpt is really close. Knowing they only get a certain number of new heads, I'm really pleased with this guy in the lineup... and his being able to combine with the Wrecker gestalt... huge win.

Wait, this is Fisitron and he's based on FOC Swindle a member of a combiner team? A team that also has a helicopter in it. Let me guess, he won't be the only figure in this set that's based on a FOC Combaticon mold. If that's so, this will be hilarious and awesome. Two sets of combining Wreckers and one of them based on a joke

Oh, yes, I'd take that. That is, unless we get a Rotorstorm from Vortex. I would like to keep the diversity of the combiner without getting Whirl. If not, that's totally fine, I can live with two limbs sharing the same mold.

So are they doing these reveals weekly? If so, that will give me a reason to look forward to the week.

He has orange instead of yellow, the green on his shoulders is orange and on his feet are blue, his Elite Guard symbols is now a standard Autobot symbol. I imagine the orange is to match the other Wreckers.

I'd have preferred hot pink eyes personally. The rest is good.

Specifically:

Now that he no longer has the Elite Guard symbol, he can rightfully join his Wrecker brethren.

Why would they need to be mutually exclusive?

Typically, the Elite Guard operate within a very strict protocol. The Wreckers do not and don't care to know what the word protocol means.

No arguing Rotorstorm and Guzzle. Not particularly attatched to Pyro, so I could care less if he gets a toy or not (unless a second set of combining Wreckers is coming up). As for Xaaron, since he's physically similar to Megatron in the original Marvel comics, I feel that a Megatron toy is a better choice.

And like JRFitzpatrick7 said, the two follow entirely different protocols. The Elite Guard remains within the military laws of Cybertron, while the Wreckers don't give two cents about playing by the rules.

The Elite Guard is a formal, by-the-book entity, while the Wreckers are a black ops unit of loose cannon daredevils regularly working under the radar.

Think of it like this. The Elite Guard is to Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D. as the Wreckers are to DC's Outsiders.

Eh, I guess I have a different perspective. I've been in combat before, your characterization and reasoning of why they couldn't be in the same unit just don't make sense to me personally. The book has it's place, but after the bullets start flying you'd be surprised how quickly your view of it changes. It tends to go from hey the rules are "great" to the rules can go pink fuzzy bunny themselves I want to live. I'm not saying that in the transformers universe you're wrong, i just don't understand how they can be, a soldier is a soldier is a soldier.
